3D Secure

What is 3D Secure?

3D Secure (a.k.a. Payer Authentication) ensures that no transactions are made by anyone but you. This adds another layer of safety to ensure your online card transactions are secure. It’s authorised by card associations (VISA and Mastercard) and managed by South African banks.
